(b) The previous Deputy Minister, Mr Bulelani Gratitude Magwanishe used a chartered flight during 17 -19 February 2013 together with Deputy Ministers of Rural Development and Land Reform and Minerals Resources and other 17 passengers.
(i) The reason was to engage with community members at Richtersveld on matters relating to the implementation of the 2007 Deed of Settlement. Alexander Bay is in an area that is difficult to get to and the only means of transport to get there are to either drive for distances of more than 600 kilometres in any direction inside South African Borders or fly via Namibia. Given the tight timeframes and the need for the Deputy Ministers to be in Cape Town for Parliament on Tuesday 19 February 2013, it was decided that a charter flight was the most prudent way to travel.
(ii) From Cape Town International to Alexander Bay and back.
